********* *HARVEST* ********* Thank you for playing the "Harvest" demo. Please visit http://members.aol.com/harvestgame to see the latest status of the full game, which is expected to be released in late 2002. All contents of this game, cd, document, and website are copyright © 2000-2002 Michael B. Clark. Any questions or comments may be e-mailed to harvestgame@aol.com INSTALLATION ------------ From CD: To install the "Harvest" demo from CD, insert the CD into the CD drive. Go to "start", "run", and type "d:harvest.exe" (don't type the quotation marks, and replace "d" with the drive letter of your cd) and click ok. Follow the on-screen prompts. From the downloaded file: double click on the "harvest.exe" file you downloaded, and follow the on-screen prompts. Technical Issues: ----------------- Some people have experienced problems with running this game under Windows 95. In order for the screen transitions to work properly, Windows 95 needs the file msimg32.dll in the following directory: c:windowssystem32. This file should be installed automatically when you install the game, but I've found that sometimes it isn't. I am working on that. In the meantime, you can download the required file by going to the website listed above and you will find the file to download. Or go to this web address: http://members.aol.com/harvestgame/msimg32.dll Any other technical problems you experience may be reported here: harvestgame@aol.com Credits: -------- This game was created using "Adventure Maker" version 3.2.0. (http://adventuremaker.com/index.html) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HINTS: ------ Following are hints to the DEMO. PLEASE USE THEM AS A LAST RESORT. a) HOW DO I OPEN THE CAT WALL SAFE? this is a combination lock - you must depress the correct combination of buttons. A clue can be found lying somewhere I CAN'T FIND THE CLUE! Look on the counter in the Kitchen, next to the vase. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN IT! press the 2nd, 4th and 5th buttons (make them yellow and all the others white) b) HOW DO I SOLVE THE PICTURE/TILE PUZZLE IN THE DESK DRAWER? there is a clue nearby. I CAN'T FIND THE CLUE! the clue is in the Cat safe I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT!!! ALL tiles must be turned to COLOR. Then turn ONLY those three tiles pictured in the Cat safe to Black & White. c) I'VE READ ALL THE BOOKS, SOLVED THE CAT SAFE AND THE PICTURE/TILE PUZZLE, AND EXPLORED THE KITCHEN. WHAT ELSE IS THERE? there is a "secret" room. I CAN'T FIND THE SECRET ROOM! THOROUGHLY explore the entire bookcase. I STILL CAN'T FIND THE SECRET ROOM ! ! there is a small button/lever on the top-right edge of the bookcase - press it. d) I CAN'T MAKE THE LIGHT IN THE SECRET ROOM STAY ON! perhapse there is a problem with the electricity. I DON'T UNDERSTAND! check the breaker box WHERE IS THE BREAKER BOX??? in the kitchen c) WHAT ARE THESE STRANGE DIALS WITH FUNNY SHAPES? These do nothing in the demo. They are vital in the final game. d) WHAT DO I DO WITH THE BOWL AND ICE TRAY? combine them e) WHAT DO I DO WITH THE BOWL OF ICE? melt it in the microwave. There is no use for these items in the demo, but there is an important use for them in the final game. f) HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I'VE FINISHED THE DEMO? a message will pop up indicated such.
